RK Audio (RKAU) is a legacy lossless (and lossy) audio compressor for the Windows platform. It was developed by Malcolm Taylor together with RK (a general purpose data compressor) and RKim (a lossless image compressor).

Development ceased around year 2000. The author offered it for download until circa 2005 at his new company MSoftware while marketing RK as the WinRK archiver (also discontinued).

Testing by ReallyRareWares indicated excellent compression level at the time, at the cost of high CPU usage. Features were few.
